Demand Holds Firm For Farm Products Domestic Soles At Near-Record Level Washington <ins) — Federal farm experts report that demand for farm products is holding firm\acroßn the nation, with consumerXincome near a record high and exports holding close to-1953 levels/ ' They explain that domestic sales of food by retail stores during the first half of 1954 were at the nearrecord levels of the same period last year. Apparel stores report, however, that their sales dropped five percent below the first six months of 1953 in the corresponding period of 1954. The agriculture department says farmers are continuing to get about 45 cents of every dollar spent by the American housewife for food. This situation is about the same as last year. Reports show that exports of U. S. farm products during the first ten months of the marketing year which ended June 30 were valued at two billion 400 million dollars. Here again, the figure it about the same as that for the corresponding period of last year. The key to the overall national farm situation this year is abundance. w « Surveys show farmers are producing an abundance of both livestock and crops, and that huge stocks of these commodities will mean lower consumer prices this fall than at any time since the Korean conflict began four years ago. A major development on the farm scene this year is a sharp increase in meat production, due to continued high production of cattle and a sharp increase in pig litters. The spring pig crop was 13 percent larger than the spring crop last year, and overall production for 1954 is expected to be 12 percent greater than for 1953. A general look at the farm situation shows the following developments: i Cattle slaughter during the remainder of 1954 should be close to levels of 1954, although further intensification of drought conditions could lead to a run on lower grades and cause a sharp break in prices. Prices for fed cattle, however, are expected to remain stable. Turkey production this year may hit a new record, and prices are bound to. be low. Right now turkeys "ash a good midsummer buy Egg prices will take a seasonal upturn in the fall, but they probably will remain below last year's prices. The agriculture department expects corn prices to hold near current levels through the remainder of the summer, and to be high in comparison with other feeds until the 1954 crop is harvested. Total production of deciduous fruits this year will be larger than in 1953 it crops turn out as large as indicated the beginning of this month. Prices also probably will be a bit lower. - About five percent more vegetables are expected to be produced for the fresh market this year than last, and prices are expected to be somewhat lower. Potato pr|<?es may pick up from last year, however, since production this year is estimated at 346 million bushels, down about eight percent from 1963.
